We book this excursion through our Apple Vacation rep at our hotel. It was not a bad trip at all from the hotel to a beautiful area. Juice drinks are given to all as you wait for other buses. Once on the boat, the fun begins. The crew is just wonderful and so much fun. The snorkeling was nice, seeing... More

Worth the time and money. Rey David Morrobel was our transfer escort. He was an awesome guide who gave us info about the area during our transfer to the boat. Snorkeling was awesome, you get super close to the sharks and rays. The trip back for the happy hour was fun. Wish I had the recipe for the coco loco.... More

This review will be pretty quick and simple. My experience was very disappointing. The organization and flow of this trip was awful. The groups were FAR too large. When you are given a guide to snorkel your in a group of 50. What would happen if someone had problems and couldn't handle the swim? WELL, I can tell you. We... More

This was the most amazing excursion we have ever went on! They take you to the site, let the good swimmers snorkel for 45 minutes, then proceed to the gated area where the burse sharks and sting rays are kept, then proceed into another gated area with more stingrays and fish and they have you hold a stingray and take...

this was a great day out on the water. we were on "oscar's" boat with his crew (darling, guadalupe, paddy, jose, esekiel). This was a great team, they had fun and were highly entertaining. The snorkeling was great and they were not skimping on the rum (anejo) for the guests! I would highly recommend this for a great day trip. More

This excursion was well worth the money! The crew was so much fun and very attentive to everyone's needs. They helped those who weren't the best swimmers, they catered to all languages and musical tastes and they kept everyone with a drink in their hand at all times. We snorkeled, we danced, we sang and we laughed ALOT. The crew... More
